Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu’s meteoric rise to tennis stardom has been met with both awe and skepticism as tennis legend Chris Evert questions the validity of her historic US Open win in 2021. Despite her impressive victory as a qualifier at just 18 years old, Evert highlights the difference in the paths taken by Raducanu and her opponent Leylah Fernandez, who defeated four top-20 seeds on her way to the final.

Evert points out that Raducanu did not face any top-ten players during her remarkable Grand Slam triumph, with her highest-ranked opponent being 11th seed Belinda Bencic. The 18-time Grand Slam champion suggests that Fernandez, had she emerged victorious, may have experienced a more significant career boost compared to Raducanu.

Following her US Open triumph, Raducanu’s ranking skyrocketed from World No. 150 to break into the top 25. Evert remains optimistic about Raducanu’s future prospects, expressing belief that the young British sensation has the potential to reclaim a spot in the top 10 rankings.

Currently ranked World No. 41, Raducanu has been steadily climbing back up the rankings after a series of setbacks that saw her drop out of the top 300 due to injuries requiring three surgeries. Despite a disappointing exit at the French Open, Raducanu is gearing up for a strong grass-court season, with appearances lined up at Queen’s, Berlin, and Eastbourne ahead of Wimbledon.

As Raducanu sets her sights on returning to the top of the tennis world, fans eagerly await to see if she can recapture the magic that saw her become a household name in 2021. With the unwavering support of her home crowd and a steely determination, Raducanu is poised to continue her remarkable journey in the world of professional tennis.
